Overtime Management for Home Care Agency Success
For a multitude of reasons, hiring and retaining caregivers is still an industry-wide challenge. Home care agencies rely heavily on their current employees to maintain healthy operations. This leads to a delicate balance: prioritizing care continuity while efficiently managing overtime.
Agencies are pushed to optimize caregiver utilization to maintain high-quality service. Home care software with integrated intake, authorization, scheduling, billing, and payroll can help home care agencies efficiently manage overtime and shift differentials.
In February 2025, the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), Arizona’s state Medicaid agency, announced EVV 2.0, marking a major shift in Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) compliance. With the expiration of its contract with Sandata, AHCCCS is developing an in-house EVV aggregator, set to launch on October 1, 2025.
While Arizona's EVV data aggregation is changing, CareVoyant remains ready. Our EVV software seamlessly integrates intake, authorizations, scheduling, and billing, reducing data errors and claim rejections. Plus, CareVoyant interfaces with all state-designated EVV aggregators, providing one platform to manage Arizona home care EVV compliance.
Home care employees spend a lot of time on manual preparations to provide the correct documentation for surveyors. Home Care Software can save employees hours of manual effort and making survey preparation easy every time.
